How to Make It
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened but not browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the tomatoes, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the lentils are tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer 5 more minutes.

10 Ben Rector Songs To Play On Repeat
September 3, 2017
I work from home on Fridays, which means I can get a ton of work done while wearing leggings. Since my normal commute takes 364 hours this is a very good deal.
It also means I listen to a lot of music during the day without fear of disturbing anyone except for the mouse living in our walls. Brush past the mouse part, it's not crucial to this post, just provides more insight into my life.
9 times out of 10 my work from home days include a soundtrack of Ben Rector on loop for 8 hours. Now I enjoy country music even though it tries to convince me to drop $400 on cowboy boots that I'll wear once to a concert. And classic rock brings me back to a simpler time when my dad entertained the neighbors with song from our back deck. And I will happily admit to liking pop because if you don't dance a little (a lot) to a Lady Gaga hook then you must be dead inside. But Ben Rector's singer songwriter tunes win Fridays.
So for your reading and listening pleasure, some of Ben's best work. In no particular order because unlike my parents I don't play favorites:
When a Heart Breaks – In case you want to sob uncontrollably alone in your living room between emails.
Forever Life That – If you argued with your spouse about laundry earlier that day and you want to feel real badly about yourself.
Crazy – A straight up JAM for suburbanites. A sample lyric: "We got off work and met at Bed, Bath and Beyond. You looked at curtains, I bought a birthday card for mom. We wanted tacos, but the taco truck was gone. Last night was crazy, yeah."
Note to Self – To remind yourself to start working on that to-do list and also to stop being the worst.
30,000 Feet – When you feel like being reflective but also want a catchy chorus stuck in your head for the rest of your life.
The Men Who Drive Me Places – For a piece of humble pie and the realization you should tip a lot more.
Brand New – Because he brought his fans to Six Flags instead of making a regular music video for this song and even though roller coasters are torture chambers the big swings are the best and that's very cool.
The Beat – The beat drops like 14 different times in this song and it's great every time.
Wildfire – If you are like me and want to like John Mayer's song by the same name but can't because it feels disloyal to Taylor Swift and Jennifer Aniston.
Fear – For anyone doing something scary but worth it. You've got this!
So many more too. Check out his newest album, Magic, available for preorder now. If the rest of the album is anything like Old Friends, Drive, Duo, and I Will Always Be Yours it is going to MELT YOUR FACE.
Buy it and my kids will get to pick out the good granola bars this week.
After writing this one I feel like I have a promising future as a music critic. Maybe just on the side? Maybe just stick to writing nonsense? Fine. But still go listen to Ben Rector.
With unrealistic dreams that Ben will read this and we'll become pen pals,

Miss. Alwyn H. Wright
Violin, Viola Teacher
Alwyn's career in the entertainment industry began when she was seven years old after being selected with four other ballerinas from Marin County, California to dance in a nationally aired television commercial for Oscar Meyer. The decision to buy a piano with the royalties had a huge impact on Alwyn's future as a musician. Alwyn loved the piano immediately, and enjoyed playing it throughout her school years, but chose to focus on formally studying the violin as her primary instrument. After achieving notoriety as a promising young violinist in the San Francisco Bay area Alwyn was encouraged to study in Los Angeles, where she received a full scholarship at University of Southern California. While in college, Alwyn began working professionally in the Los Angeles music scene, and before graduating she won positions with the Santa Barbara Chamber Orchestra and the Long Beach Symphony. Her television appearances include episodes of CSI New York, the Agency, the Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and the Grammy and Academy Awards, and she has appeared on screen in many films, including the Soloist, Get Smart, and the Jonas Brothers Concert Experience. Alwyn has toured Europe, Asia and South America extensively with different ensembles, and has been the solo violinist along with a cast of 10 figure skaters in "Strings! A World Adventure on Ice", A full-scale production on board Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas. Alwyn recorded her first solo album, "Passages", in 2009.

Today we ventured out, us three. No Trevor, nobody else. Just us. And it was scary. For me, anyway.
It took until 3pm to be ready to go. It's just impossible to be ready.
I managed my first shower with two of them. Iris in her high chair in the bathroom, sticking sequins and feathers to a piece of card. Astrid in her basket thingy, snoozing and propping the door open. It was a fairly long shower too, as they were both content. I felt really chuffed with myself. I've nailed this!
So then I took them both upstairs and got myself dressed. I stripped off the bed for washing and started sorting out clothes for them. Meanwhile some roofers turned up and climbed out of the big kid's bedroom window. Iris got access to that room, and started stealing their stuff. Mostly plastic jewellery, which she then insisted on wearing. I got her out of there without her getting too cross, but then she decided to empty all of her clothes drawers. Things weren't going to plan.
Before I could get Iris dressed, Astrid woke for a feed. It took ages.
Then I dressed Iris and the bloody CBeebies lunchtime song came on. How?? How is it lunchtime? Iris asked for 'snack' and before I know it I'm making us all sandwiches. Thankfully Iris takes a long time over lunch, so I use the time to make sure I have a bag with everything we might need. Somehow I have 3 changes of clothes for Iris and none for Astrid. But I can't go and get some, because I'd either have to get Iris out of her high chair mid-lunch to take her with me, or just take Astrid and risk leaving Iris alone in her high chair for a minute. I don't want to do either. It'll have to wait.
Astrid wakes up and needs a feed. It takes ages. Iris demands to get out of her high chair so I have to remove Astrid which makes her scream. Really not going to plan now.
Iris plays. I change Astrid's nappy and get her dressed.
Iris is really grumpy. She clearly needs a nap.
I give up and decide we'll go out after her nap. It'll give me more time to get ready anyway.
There's no bedding on the bed. Oh for goodness sake.
We lie on it anyway. Astrid needs feeding again so I can't cuddle Iris in the way she likes. Iris gets upset, then calms down but won't lie down. Half an hour later I give up.
Back downstairs, I continue trying to pack the bag. They both poo. I was almost ready! It's like they know.
Once they're both changed, Iris suddenly reaches the level of tiredness where she's irrational. We have to go very soon or she'll explode. I put her coat and wellies on, strap her into her pushchair and plonk her in front of Tree Fu Tom with a cup of milk. She's asleep in minutes. Phew.
Only now Iris is sleeping, and the whole reason we're going out is so that Iris can let off some steam. Sigh.
I put Astrid in her coat and put her in the wrap, then realise I haven't brushed my teeth. I've remembered to brush Iris's teeth but not my own. Somehow.
Pretty soon we're off. Both babies are snoring and I'm wondering why I've bothered. But still. We've done it. By 3pm, which still somehow seems like an achievement of sorts.
Iris wakes just as the bus gets into town, which is perfect. The sun is shining and it's a lovely day. To the park!
Iris tears around in her usual way, picking up sticks to fill the basket under the pushchair. Astrid sleeps. I check she's still breathing about 500 times and laugh as I remember doing that with Iris too. Who says you worry less about your second?
Before we know it, the sun is going down. The grass turns white before our eyes, and Iris discovers a frozen puddle to smash. It's freezing! Then the concrete starts to turn white too, and Iris slips over a couple of times. It's time to go.
Of course Iris is terribly unhappy about this, and it takes a while to gently convince her that we should get in out of the cold. I have to sing Wind The Bobbin Up to calm her sobs, and I feel awful.
Astrid sleeps.
The library! Iris loves the library, and it's warm. There's a huge chalkboard wall, colouring sheets and hundreds of books. Heaven for Iris. Astrid wakes up and I feed her her. Nobody notices. Trevor texts to say he's going to to the supermarket and he'll pick us up. I'm relieved not to be getting back on the bus with two awake under-twos.
And I've done it. Our first trip out. It wasn't much, and the getting ready part was a disaster, but it's done.
I feel a bit smug.

How to Overcome an Addiction – Counseling and Therapy in Watertown
Realizing that you're an addict can be both the best and the worst thing in the world. That sounds odd to say, as what on earth is good about addiction? You have a situation where your life is taken over by alcohol or drugs, or where you're completely in the thrall of pornography or gambling, and there is nothing remotely good about that. But if you realize that, then you're a long way there to doing something about it, and to a Watertown addiction counselor, that's one of the best things in the world. You've taken a step towards curing yourself.
How to Take That First Step
In order to take that step, you need to take stock and have a look for some telltale signs that might indicate that you have an addiction. These signs include, but are not limited to the following:
- Is your life consumed by your addiction to the point where it's more important than your family, your livelihood, and your friends?
- Do you find yourself consuming more and more of what you're addicted to in order to just stay "normal"? Has your tolerance level risen?
- Are you living more and more of a secret life, where your addiction is in one larger "box" and everything else is in a separate, smaller (and getting even smaller) "box"?
- Are you embarrassed or feel shame about your habit? Do you want to stop but just can't?
The fact that you're even asking these questions of yourself is a reason to congratulate yourself. If any of the answers to the above are "yes", you're probably an addict and it's time to take the next step.
The Next Step
So, you've realized that you have an addiction problem and you don't want to end up ruining your life and the lives of those that you love. You don't want to end up alone, homeless, jobless, with no-one to care for you. You don't want to die of an overdose or of a disease. You want to live. The next step towards living is professional help and therapy, and that is what a Watertown addiction counselor can offer, by providing:
- Group therapy with other addicts
- Individual therapy to get to the heart of your addiction and understand it
- Family therapy to guide you and your loved ones through the process of becoming addiction-free.
Therapy is the keystone of addiction treatment. Please call us to determine your counseling needs and to take those crucial steps towards wellness.

House of Ireland | Christmas Wishlist interview
Q A gift you received as a child that stands out in your memory? My grandfather used to send me parcels from Germany every Christmas with lots of sweets, toys and mini electrical equipment! He was an electrical engineer and I loved to play with the sets he put together for me. He gave me instructions to build miniature circuits, bells, alarms and lighting systems. It's such a special memory.0

Giving Old Wood New Life
Happy Monday! Today I'm sharing with you a super simple way to make an old junky crate (or any wood piece for that matter) look like a high dollar antique store find! City-wide garage sales were this past weekend and I scored a few of these dirty old crates for a great deal. *insert thumbs-up emoticon here* Wooden crates are one of my go-to decor pieces, so needless to say, I was pumped! 😉
This is what they looked like fresh off the curb:
Not bad…but they were definitely dirty, faded, and had cobwebs forming in several corners. Just in need of a little TLC. My painting boss has a wealth of experience in restoring antiques, and a while back she suggested using Murphy Oil Soap to clean up wooden pieces and then using some danish oil to really make them shine. (You should be able to find both at your local home improvement store.)
I started by taking a bucket of Murphy Oil Soap mixed with water and used a little brush and rag to scrub down on the crates (This part can be really yucky, but so worth the final result.)
Next, I simply took a rag with the danish oil and rubbed them down bring out the beauty of the natural wood. The transformation was truly amazing!
From drab to fab! You can also use this combo on chairs, tables, and other wooden finds. It is so simple and a great way to restore wood to it's original beauty.
Here are some old folding chairs that we spruced up using this technique as well (top row is before & bottom row is after):
What do you think? Do you have any secret formulas or tricks to restoring old wood? Let me know in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you! Or find me on Facebook (Grace Unmeasured Blog) and Instagram (@graceunmeasured) and let's stay in touch!
Happy Craftin!
Julia 🙂

I've been living here for about 3 months, & I really loved it. I live in the 2-story unit with a roommate. The upstairs bedroom is actually a converted loft. My favorite part of the bedroom is the HUGE window. Moving in was easy. We toured the unit, fell in love, & contacted the office to start the move-in process. The staff was awesome. The most noise I hear all week is on Sunday afternoons when 1 of my neighbors has friends over & they grill in the grassy area off their porch-how nice is that?Sarah G. (Resident)

Hello everybody.
This is my first ever blog, so don't judge. This blog is about many things. Building blocks primary among them. As well as drawings and stories.
This is one of my many half built lego creations.
Balin's tomb from The Lord of the Rings movie: The Fellowship of the Ring.
It is only missing a few walls, so it's more 3/4 of the way built. It includes all of the nine members of the fellowship, as well as around six orcs.

Although it may seem like a simple item to purchase, a collagen face mask is actually one of the hardest things you can go out and try to buy on any given day. There are so many different options to choose from when it comes to the face masks that many people don't even know where to begin.
The best way to make sure you end up with the right mask for your face is to do a good bit of research before you make your purchase.
For some people, the only way they can figure out which collagen face mask to buy is to try them all out until they find something that seems to work the best.
This is something that can be avoided with a little bit of research, and you definitely don't want to be wasting your money on purchasing more products than you really need.
Instead of just using trial and error, you should find out which face masks are best for yourskin condition and begin your search with only the ones that match what you need.
There seems to be a general lack of understand with the public as to the correct way to increase the amount of collagen found in your skin.
Most of the skin care companies also exploit these misconceptions by marketing products for people who don't understand the science behind facial masks.
Do your researching before buying a collagen face mask
It's amazing how many people get duped into buying the wrong products because they don't want to take five minutes out of their day to do the proper research. This is obviously not just a problem in thecollagen face mask industry, and there are many different types of products that are on the market only because there is a perception that they are needed by the public.
Once you do the research in regard to collagen, you will find out that a lower amount of collagen protein is the biggest cause of aging and wrinkling skin.
Once you know the basic facts, you can then use that knowledge to figure out which products you will actually need to buy. Collagen is definitely not the only factor when it comes to aging skin, but it is definitely one you can try to control with the use of various skin products. The reason collagen is so important is because it is the protein that keeps your skin tight and firm.
Stay away from products that you don't need
Anyone who takes just a few moments to research collagen and how it relates to wrinkles won't have to worry about buying products that won't help their skin at all. A collagen face mask that contains proteins is not what you want because what you really need is a collagen mask that encourages the production of new proteins in your skin.

Massachusetts Agency Policy and Practice Sharply Reduce Solitary Confinement
Beginning in 2008-2009, the Massachusetts Department of Youth Services (DYS) made policy and practice changes that significantly reduced the use of room confinement in all their facilities. DYS operates ten secure residential programs and a network of residential care facilities. These changes were originally spurred by a two youth suicides that took place while residents were in their rooms. The agency's mission is to maximize each child's time in programming and treatment on any given day, so time spent in room confinement prevented youth from engaging in programming, which became a serious concern . After a major shift in policies and practice, the use of room confinement gradually decreased. By April, 2016, the average time youth spent in isolation in DYS facilities was less than 1.25 hours.
DYS policy prohibits the use of room confinement as a form of discipline. The agency does permit limited periods of isolation when a youth exhibits dangerous and disruptive behavior and less restrictive alternatives to control the behavior have failed. However, staff must obtain authorization from agency administrators to use isolation for periods longer than 15 minutes, and staff must secure approvals from more senior officials outside of the facility as the requested time increases. Staff are trained to use alternative measures – including de-escalation, behavior management, and conflict resolution techniques – and to assist youth who are placed in isolation to develop an "Exit Strategy" to get out of isolation quickly and transition back into regular programming. This policy, coupled with other reforms at the agency, have led DYS to significantly reduce the use of room confinement. For more information:

By Major Srinivas Nargolkar (Retd.)
(Ed. note: link to video of race below. Grades of races listed for informational purposes only. All Indian graded races qualify as Listed black type internationally.)
In 1976-77, Squanderer, one of India's all-time great horses, went through his Classic year with a string of nine unbeaten runs. Today (Sept. 24), Desert God emulated Squanderer as he won the Gourmet Renaissance Indian St. Leger, Gr.1 over 2800 m. at Pune, decimating his six rivals and winning by 7 3/4 lengths in a time of 2.56.75. Desert God (Burden of Proof – Running Flame, by Steinbeck) started as a 55/100 favourite. He is owned by trainer S. Padmanabhan and his wife Sharmila Padmanabhan's Radiant Bloodstock — which bred the chestnut colt — while Col. Swapan Bhadra also has share in him.
The Indian St. Leger was Squanderer's ninth and last start of the year. Desert God could well break Squanderer's record if he is brought out for either the Golconda St. Leger, Gr.2 or the R.W.I.T.C., Ltd. Gold Trophy, Gr.2 next month. On current form, he should romp home in whichever one he chooses. Today's win took Desert God's career earnings well past the Rs. 70 million mark, a record in India. There were seven runners and the outsider Jigigsaw streaked away to the front as the gates opened while the favourite was a bit sluggishly away. Jigsaw ran with gay abandon to be fifteen lengths ahead of Desert God at the halfway stage. A. Sandesh, astride Desert God, did not panic and slowly reined in the tearaway frontrunner to be upsides with 600 m. to go. He then simply waltzed away to a bloodless victory as Colombiana came through the struggling chasers and just went past Jigsaw in the closing stages. Squanderer's win 39 years also gave him the Indian Triple Crown. He had earlier won, like Desert God, the Indian Derby, Indian Turf Invitation Cup, President of India Gold Cup and Bangalore St. Leger. Desert God, having started his year in Calcutta where he won the Calcutta Derby, Gr.1, missed out on the Indian Triple Crown.
Desert God's dam Running Flame was also owned the Padmanabhans and trained by S. Padmanabhan. She counted the Indian Oaks, Gr.1, Indian Turf Invitation Cup, Gr.1 and President of India Gold Cup, Gr.1 among her 10 wins. She was the favourite to win the Indian Derby, Gr.1 in which she ran third. She was also first past the post in the Indian St. Leger, Gr.1 but was relegated on a successful objection. By winning the Indian Derby and Indian St. Leger, Desert God has salvaged family honour. The Usha Stud-bred Running Flame was then sent to U.S.A. where she raced mostly on the West Coast without winning. She was past her best by then. After being covered by Silver Hawk, she moved to England/Ireland. Her foals abroad were of not much account. She returned to India in foal to Choisir and was stationed at Kunigal Stud. The Choisir colt was named Borsalino and won the Kingfisher Derby Bangalore, Gr.1 and Vijay Textiles Deccan Derby, Gr.1 while Sur La Tete, a full-sister to Desert God, bagged the Golconda Oaks, Gr.2. She then left Kunigal Stud and died earlier this year at Poonawalla Farms. Running Flame's third dam, the Nashua mare Nalee, will be well known to American readers.
While at Kunigal, Running Flame consistently visited the Fairy King horse Burden of Proof, who, too, passed away a couple of months ago. At the time of his death, Burden of Proof had stacked up a record which placed him fifth in the all-time list of stallions in India. His third dam was Princequillo's daughter Princessnesian; another familiar name to the Americans.

Maintenance is very slow and does not complete jobs|Recommended: YesThe apartments are very nice and spacey It's the maintenance workers that need work. It take weeks after submitting a work order for maintenance to come out to you and that's if they ever come Whats even worse is that when they eventually show up, they'll come and look at the problem and say they'll come back and never come back. Then when you go online to look at the job orders, it'll say completed when it isn't. Takes a trip or two to the office before they show up again.
I am sorry to hear about the bad experience with your maintenance service request. The feedback is appreciated as we are striving to make changes in the time management side of service requests. If you can provide me with more details or would like to reach out to me personally to address those items in detail, I am open to hear. Thank you for sharing your concerns with us.

Beautiful|Recommended: YesThe staff is AMAZING. I came home to a large spider in my apartment, of which I was terrified, and they had someone over within 5 MINUTES to take care of it for me. I've never lived anywhere where the people are so quick to help before, it's wonderful.

No major complaints|Recommended: YesIt's a good location. I have no issues with appliances working or anything functioning poorly.
Hi Jeremy, Thank you for taking time out of your day to let us know where we stand. We appreciate that there are no issues so far in your new home. Landmark at West Place is in a great location; close to area attractions, shopping, schools, restaurants, etc. Please keep us informed if any future issues arise in the home. You may call, email, or go online to place work orders and areas of concern. Have a wonderful day! - Landmark Management
Nice place but to many snakes keep poping up |Recommended: NoVery scary at times because of the snakes that comes from out of know ware around the front gate when you walk out of it.
Hi Veldernia, We appreciate this area of concern regarding the snakes, it can be very scary at times. Due to our geographic location of our community backing up to a lake, this can be tough to prevent! Our Pest Control Vendor has been notified and this is something that we discuss on many occasions to try and put a plan of preventative action together. They have also mentioned that preventing snakes is difficult because the chemical reaction for snakes is different because of their nature. Please continue to be safe at all times and always be on the look out. We hope you have a wonderful day! - Landmark at West Place, Management
Needs superficial improvements|Recommended: YesThe price has gone up drastically and has changed management 3 times in the almost 5 years IU've been here.
Hi Ashley, We do appreciate your feedback regarding prices and new management. Change can be difficult at times for anyone and we know that we just want to continue to improve on the areas that we can to make your experience a great one! Rent prices will vary due to the market supply and demand in the area, most management companies in the apartment communities will run off of a program that will let us know what pricing is for that particular floor plan. We also continue to do market surveys of our surrounding communities to try and make sure we are providing reasonable rental rates. Please continue to give us feedback on anything that may arise and we will do our best to address the situation. We hope you have a wonderful day! - Landmark at West Place, Management

supporting the third sector
Stuart Notholt has extensive experience of working at a senior level in the charities and not-for-profit sector, ensuring that the different and diverse needs of stakeholders are met - be they donors, users, carers, or volunteers. Through work with Parliamentary and official groups, including All Party groups in the House of Commons, he has operated at Ministerial and senior official level, gaining support for the aims of his client organizations at Whitehall, Westminster, and the devolved institutions.
Some of the not-for-profit sector projects Stuart has worked on include...
Stuart was Divisional Director of Communications & Public Affairs for The National Autistic Society from 2002-6, where he reported to the CEO and was responsible, with two other Senior Management Team Directors, for the overall management of the Society. He managed a team of 37 (plus 300 volunteers) with a direct budget of over £4 million. He was lead director covering the areas of policy and campaigning, marketing, advocacy, PR and events management, information services and publications (including web-based services). In this role, he was also responsible for initial drafting of the Society's Strategic Plan, covering all aspects of the organization's work and objectives. He was also responsible for major corporate relationships, such as those with Vodafone, Barclays, House of Fraser and Clifford Chance, and worked very closely with the Marketing & Fundraising Director to ensure that the opportunities presented by the synergy between policy, research and fundraising were understood and developed.
In 2006-7 he worked on a number of freelance charity projects through his own organization, SNC Africa. These included business and IT support to an educational charity in Uganda and work with the Business Action for Africa consortium around projects designed to commemorate the 2007 abolition of the transatlantic slave trade. He personally designed and led an educational project taking journalists, students and potential investors to Benin, in West Africa.
As interim Director of Development for Victim Support (2007-8) he was responsible for relaunching the fundraising function to take account of the new needs of the organization, winning Board approval. He also drafted the organization's strategic plan at a time of considerable change in the organization, which was merging 77 separate constituent charities into one national body. He also developed programmes with MIND, Mencap and other partners for supporting the needs of vulnerable individuals, whether as victims or witnesses of crime.
Stuart developed a UK and international media strategy for Compassion in World Farming and, as interim Director of Media and a member of the Senior Management Team, led on its implementation and the creation of the new media team. The results included the development of a more pro-active and structured approach to media relations. He also worked on social media projects, particularly on the positioning of the Chief Executive as the key spokesman for the charity in the new media arena. He also visited Poland and prepared a proposal for the creation of a new Warsaw office for the organization.
Humanitarian Aid Relief Trust (HART) is a developmental and advocacy charity that works with some of the most economically and politically marginalized peoples in the world, frequently in conflict and other unstable regions. Having undertaken pro bono work for HART in northern Nigeria, Stuart was engaged as interim CEO during most of 2011 while a permanent incumbent was identified and recruited. He led on the creation of the annual report, on high level bid preparation and on the re-alignment of the charity's social media and web strategies. As well as UK-based work, Stuart also worked for HART in Uganda and South Sudan, where he attended the independence celebrations in July 2011.

Verizon (and Google) Helped U.S. Government to Spy on Reporters
Technology companies willingly provided information to U.S. government agencies to help the Obama administration snoop on reporters from the Associated Press (AP) and Fox news in order to ostensibly crack down on leaks that pose a "threat" to national security.
Verizon, one of the largest mobile phone companies in the U.S., turned over records on 20 reporters from the AP who were working on a story on Yemen without questioning the government. Likewise Google turned over email records on Stephen Jin-Woo Kim, a federal contractor, over his conversations about North Korea with Fox news.
This is not the first time that the Obama administration has asked telecommunication companies to turn over records on journalists. In 2010 the federal government asked for the phone records of New York Times reporter James Risen for his investigation of Operation Merlin, a failed attempt by the Clinton administration to sabotage Iran's nuclear program by supplying misleading information on key technology.
"Every president wants to control the message, but this administration has taken things to a different level," Kathleen McClellan, a lawyer for the Government Accountability Project

This Isn't the First Time the IRS has Targeted Specific Groups
At first glance, it may seem like another annoying addition to the scandal du jour list: Tuesday, Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that the Justice Department and FBI began a criminal investigation on whether Internal Revenue Service (IRS) employees broke the law when they targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status–using search terms such as "tea party" and "patriot."
However, what may initially appear as a political party tit for tat goes much deeper–in that the IRS has long been a vehicle of political retribution (with politics depending on what administration is currently seated in power)–and perhaps most disconcerting of all: tossing the constitutionally guaranteed equal protection clause right out the window.
The recurrent theme of governmental power targeting marginalized political communities has been a consistent, abysmal tradition dating back to the FDR administration. The administration admitted using inflated charges of tax evasion on political targets such as former Louisiana governor and senator Huey Long. And the tactic of wielding the IRS' fiery wrath is an equal opportunity strategy for both sides of the aisle: under the Nixon administration, the IRS created the Special Services Staff (SSS) to look into thousands of perceived political enemies–including reporters who wrote critical stories of Nixon, such as Newsday's Robert Greene, and civil rights organizations like the NAACP.

Boston — Using war jargon associated with Iraq and Afghanistan, authorities have repeatedly described the blasts that killed three people and injured 176 at the crowded Boston Marathon on "Patriots Day," April 15, as "IED bombings," for improvised explosive devices. Many of the injured suffered horrific amputations and shrapnel wounds.
Since then, a common sentiment shared among people here has been, "This must be what it looks like every day in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Over the next four days, people in the greater Boston area experienced a police state operation that many also described as a preview of martial law.
Thousands of heavily armed and mechanized National Guard troops, military police, FBI SWAT teams and federal agents of every stripe — from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to the Drug Enforcement Administration — mobilized to assist the Boston police lockdown of the downtown area. At the same time, the media began a nearly uninterrupted 24/7 coverage of the "manhunt."
TV newscasters breathlessly glorified a "courageous civilian" for allegedly tackling a "fleeing Saudi national" whose hands were "suspiciously burned" at the bombing scene. Boston police set up an armed guard at his hospital room and federal SWAT teams raided an apartment building in Revere known to house hundreds of international students, displaying bags of "seized evidence" to the cameras.
A CNN reporter repeatedly shared his scoop with the world, straight from "sources at the highest level of law enforcement," that authorities were focusing on a "dark skinned, Black male seen with a package in surveillance video" at the scene shortly before the blasts....

a speech at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland...
Down the road only a few generations, the millennium of Magna Carta, one of the great events in the establishment of civil and human rights, will arrive. Whether it will be celebrated, mourned, or ignored is not at all clear.
That should be a matter of serious immediate concern. What we do right now, or fail to do, will determine what kind of world will greet that event. It is not an attractive prospect if present tendencies persist -- not least, because the Great Charter is being shredded before our eyes.
The first scholarly edition of Magna Carta was published by the eminent jurist William Blackstone. It was not an easy task. There was no good text available. As he wrote, "the body of the charter has been unfortunately gnawn by rats" -- a comment that carries grim symbolism today, as we take up the task the rats left unfinished...

FBI Serves Terrorism Warrants In Minn., Chicago
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The FBI said it searched eight addresses in Minneapolis and Chicago as part of a terrorism investigation Friday. Warrants suggest agents were looking for connections between local anti-war activists and terrorist groups in Colombia and the Middle East.
FBI spokesman Steve Warfield told The Associated Press agents served six warrants in Minneapolis and two in Chicago. "These were search warrants only," Warfield said. "We're not anticipating any arrests at this time. They're seeking evidence relating to activities concerning the material support of terrorism."
The homes of longtime Minneapolis anti-war activists Mick Kelly, Jess Sundin and Meredith Aby were among those searched, they said. All three were subpoenaed to appear before a federal grand jury in Chicago: Aby on Oct. 5, Sundin on Oct. 12 and Kelly on Oct. 19. "The FBI is harassing anti-war organizers and leaders, folks who opposed U.S. intervention in the Middle East and Latin America," Kelly saidbefore agents confiscated his cell phone...

170 Organizations Request Special Prosecutor for Bush-Cheney
A movement is building around a simple statement at http://prosecutebushcheney.org
Organizations and individuals are signing on, and 170 organizations have already taken the lead.
Next week United for Peace and Justice will ask its 1,400 member groups to consider signing on.
Most of the 170 national and local groups signed onto this movement before the release of seven Justice Department memos from 2001-2002 in which top officials claimed the right to disregard the Fourth Amendment, Habeas Corpus, and Posse Comitatus:
Most of these groups signed on before learning that the CIA had destroyed 92, not 2, "interrogation" tapes:
Most of these groups signed on before the release of Emails in which we discover that British intelligence thought the Iraq weapons claims were laughably dishonest: http://afterdowningstreet.org/node/40684
Most signed on prior to the United Nations declaring rendition illegal:

Denver officials weren't planning to reveal details about where activists would be detained in the event of mass arrests during the Democratic National Convention until after the event had started, but those plans were quickly dashed this week when CBS 4News reporter Rick Sallinger not only revealed that protesters would be locked up in a city-owned warehouse, but he also obtained clear video footage inside the facility, a building that includes barbed wire-topped cages and signs warning of stun-gun use.

WASHINGTON-- – As the Senate Judiciary Committee voted today to approve the nomination of Judge Michael Mukasey for attorney general, the American Civil Liberties Union now calls upon the full Senate to obtain what the committee could not – an admission from the nominee that waterboarding and other extreme interrogation tactics are torture. During the confirmation hearings and in his responses to further questions, Judge Mukasey carefully avoided stating whether waterboarding is torture when authorized by the federal government, as well as refusing to say that it is also illegal for foreign countries to waterboard, beat and shock American citizens...

TNT is pulling out all the stops for innovative, eye-popping window takeovers in Manhattan for cable's top-rated series of all time, "The Closer" and "Rizzoli & Isles," which return for all-new seasons Monday, July 11.
"The Closer" at Dylan's Candy Bar in East Manhattan
"The Closer's" Manhattan store-window will be a riff on lead character Brenda Leigh Johnson's reputation for indulging in sweets. TNT is teaming with Dylan's Candy Bar, the world's largest candy store, to create a three-dimensional window display featuring a police interrogation room and other iconic imagery from the show crafted out of candy. This is Dylan's first-ever promotion with a television series.
The exciting and colorful window display will be featured at the Dylan's Candy Bar at 60th Street and 3rd Avenue in East Manhattan. In addition to the Manhattan promotion, Dylan's Candy Bars stores in Orlando, Fla.; Houston; East Hampton, N.Y.; and Garden City, N.Y. will showcase "The Closer" through branded grab bags, signage, postcards and a looped video of "Brenda's Sweet Confessions."
In addition, Hershey's chocolate is a title sponsor of "The Closer's" seventh-season premiere, and Hershey's products will be integrated into creative executions of the window, as well as some elements of the promotion.
"Rizzoli & Isles" in Chelsea near Madison Square Park
"Rizzoli & Isles," which smashed cable records last summer, will get the full window treatment in Manhattan 's Chelsea neighborhood at 6th Avenue and 21st Street. The innovative and groundbreaking design will actually challenge passersby to test their crime-solving abilities with an interactive crime scene. As consumers walk by the 100-foot display, they will see a three-dimensional crime scene through the windows of the storefront. The detailed build-out features a taped-off crime scene filled with an array of evidence, including open pill bottles, footprints and fingerprints, as well as a sheeted corpse in the center of the scene.
An interactive video wall serves as the investigation headquarters, allowing consumers to dust for fingerprints, survey the scene of the crime, review DNA tests and view an autopsy report. Using state-of-the-art Touch Interactive Technology, pedestrians also learn about the motives and whereabouts of three potential suspects and ultimately solve the crime. Throughout the interactive process, the clues revealed by each forensic test are illuminated inside the crime scene, providing an interactive consumer experience between the actual crime scene and the interactive video wall used to solve the crime.
Once the crime is solved, users are awarded with a photo of themselves with the stars of "Rizzoli & Isles," which is then displayed on the storefront window. From the shop window, consumers then have the ability to share their photos with friends via Facebook.
Passersby in a rush to get where they going can also participate by scanning a QR code into their smartphone as they walk by the "Rizzoli & Isles" display. They can then solve the crime at their leisure.
TNT's "The Closer," starring Emmy winner Kyra Sedgwick, is slated to kick off its seventh season Monday, July 11, at 9 p.m. (ET/PT). "Rizzoli & Isles," starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander, will launch its second season at 10 p.m. (ET/PT).

To the bafflement of many, Nintendo recently announced that it was ceasing production of the NES Classic Edition, a mini console that has been a sell-out since its introduction six months ago. Though, if the report is true, you'll have to wait until the holidays.
Should territorial distinctions continue, it could be called a Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Nintendo Entertainment System in Europe, or a Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom in Japan, according to the console's original naming conventions.
The company stated last Thursday that the NES Classic was sold as a cool novelty item for holidays and not a permanent product. Let's just hope that Nintendo makes sure there's plenty of stock to go around this time. We can nearly forgive Nintendo for underestimating the demand of the NES Classic Edition, but there is no excuse for a repeat disappointment (for gamers) this time around. Thus far, Nintendo hasn't given an exact reason for this decision, only saying that the NES Classic was never meant to be a long-running product.
Nintendo (ntdoy) made a splash in November with the release of its NES Classic Edition, a slimmed-down version of the company's first home console.
The NES Classic has been very hard to find in stores and online since its reemergence in November a year ago.
Nintendo said it sold more than 1.5 million NES Classic consoles, a figure that was sharply higher than expected. There is no word yet what games will be on this new mini or if it will correct the same issues the NES mini had.
There's no word on which games will be included, but you can bet it would feature classic third-party entries such as Super Metroid, Super Mario World, and A Link To The Past. This report follows on from news yesterday, which discovered that the Japanese company would be discontinuing manufacture of their highly popular NES Mini. The SNES had one of the most rich libraries of any console in history.
Luckily, those who didn't score a mini NES haven't lost all luck.
Zuckerberg used Pokemon GO as an example while speaking on stage, but mentioned that it will soon become way more sophisticated. The company is taking a leap into a new realm of interactions, and they've started by sharing a lot of them today.
The highest-performance Model S P100D will cost $141,200 (up $5,500), while the Model X P100D will cost $146,200 (up $9,500). Now that it's no longer being offered, Tesla is making some pricing and feature changes to the rest of its lineup.
It's hard to believe that Lorde's last live performance, aside from her stint on SNL, was way back in December 2014. She busted out 'Green Light', 'Liability' and brand spankin' new one 'Sober' .
Wylie Bay Beach will be closed until further notice and the Department of Fisheries will spend Tuesday patrolling the beach. A 17-year-old girl has died following a shark attack near Esperance on the south-western coast of Western Australia.
Trump would say he's simply flexible, an emerging foreign policy doctrine that leaves room for evolution and uncertainty. Trump ran for office as a Republican but has few ties to the party's traditionally conservative philosophy.
Trump came in on that wave, too - and as long as he's still there, you should put off the celebration and keep up the resistance. That's despite the fact that Bannon took over as the campaign's CEO in August of a year ago .
The shutdown didn't last long, however, and fervent April watchers were once again allowed their favorite Beckettian pastime. We can not retain offspring, as it would lead to incestuous mating and undermine the genetics of the program and species.
These devices work on a novel kind of material which could extract a large volume of water into its various number of pores. This all-purpose solution could make a big difference for the millions of people living in water-deprived areas.
They were scheduled to begin a parade down Pennsylvania Avenue past the Trump International Hotel and the IRS building from 1 p.m. Despite intense public pressure, President Trump has not yet done so - breaking with 40 years of precedent in the process.
But Palace swiftly responded through Yohan Cabaye and Christian Benteke to claim a point and move seven points clear of the relegation zone.

The Southeatern Conference postponed the Florida-LSU game scheduled for landlocked Gainesville this Saturday.
The postponement may mark the first cancellation of a conference game due to weather in the history of the SEC. Florida rejected the idea of playing a home game away at Baton Rouge, citing difficulties in traveling.
Although Hurricane Matthew killed several hundred people in Haiti, its arrival in Florida did not match its hype. The hurricane hit further up the Atlantic Coast than anticipated and received a downgrading to a Category Three storm. Still, strong winds and rains pounded coastal areas, and hundreds of thousands lost power.
Major obstacles stand in the way of rescheduling. The teams' bye weeks, for instance, don't match. Competing a week after the conference championship may work as an option. Buying out non-conference opponents to clear up a week could also work.
"We had a very productive phone call today with a great spirit of cooperation between the universities' presidents and athletics directors and it became clear that the University of Florida could neither host nor travel to a game this weekend considering the circumstances," SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey explained in a release. "The developments of the hurricane in the last 24 hours, the projected magnitude of its impact and the unknown aftermath of this storm have resulted in this decision to seek another date to play the LSU-Florida game. We have to be sensitive to the possible imminent disruption to the state of Florida and in particular the Gainesville and surrounding area."

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2016
Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Bijan Afar comments on the new study now linking gum disease to cerebrovascular diseases. Numerous studies have linked gum disease to systemic inflammation, heart disease, stroke, and other serious health problems, but a new study demonstrates a specific relationship between a condition called lacunar infarct and chronic periodontitis. Chronic periodontitis is an advanced stage of gum disease. Lacunar infarct is a stroke that occurs when the arteries that supply the brain's deeper structures become occluded.
The CDC estimates that about seventy percent of those over the age of sixty-five have some degree of gum disease, and 130,000 Americans die annually due to strokes. According to this study, which was published in the "European Journal of Neurology" and summarized at Science Daily, those with periodontal disease are four times more likely to suffer a lacunar stroke than those with good dental health.
Researchers theorized that the systemic inflammation associated with chronic periodontitis could interfere with the health of blood vessels. However, both conditions also share certain risk factors, including diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure.
Dr. Bijan Afar, Miracle Mile dentist, takes a proactive role with his patients' smiles by offering a variety of periodontal treatments to manage their gum health. These include:
- Scaling and root planing
- Antimicrobial treatments
- Periodontal maintenance
- Pocket reduction surgery
- Gum grafts
- Bone grafts
- Dental implant surgery
- Guided tissue regeneration
Dr. Afar and his team offer comprehensive dental care designed to maintain good overall dental health. This includes not just periodontal care but also general dentistry, tooth-colored fillings, crowns, inlays, onlays, porcelain bridges, dentures, porcelain veneers, Zoom whitening, night guards, TMJ treatments, sleep apnea mouthpieces, and sedation dentistry.
About Dr. Bijan Afar
Dr. Afar is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles. He completed his residency in periodontics at the University of Washington, Seattle. He has decades of experience and is an internationally recognized expert in oral implantology. Today, he is a member of the Western Los Angeles Dental Society, the California Dental Association, the American Dental Association, and the Academy of Osseointegration.
